Carrier Frequency of Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation ( NBIA) Disorders in a Middle Eastern Clinical Cohort Based on Retrospective Genetic Testing Data

Key Points

• To systematically analyze lifetimes risk and carrier frequencies of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) disorders in Middle Eastern populations.
• Conducted a systematic analysis of retrospective genetic testing data.
• Focused on Middle Eastern clinical cohorts.
• Assessed lifetime risk and carrier frequencies of NBIA.
• Identified a notable carrier frequency of NBIA in the studied population.
• Highlighted the need for region-specific genetic screening due to the findings.
